Shared description
Arches Leisure Centre, East Greenwich
The municipal swimming baths were built in 1928, with two pools, originally called First and Second class (later named "fitness and leisure pools" respectively). It was an old-fashioned design with individual cubicles along the pool-side. [source: local blogger Link
]
The pools and other fitness facilities on the site were transferred in the last few years of operation to a private operator (Better Leisure), and closed in June 2015 when the new Greenwich Centre opened a few hundred metres to the east TQ3978 : Entrance to the Greenwich Centre.
The site straddles a grid boundary so photos can be found under both TQ3877 and TQ3977.
